    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    Just looking at all the posts about garages got me thinking it'd be interesting to see what different guys have got to park their toys in. Mine isn't anything fancy, just a deep 2 stall, but I have enough room to pull and rebuild engines, do bodywork, and just about anything else I need to do. Major jobs have to wait until I can pull one car out and leave it in the driveway or at my buddy's shop for the duration. I've got a Harbor Freight "lean to" the Caddy lives under on the side of my garage behind a locked fence, so I've got 2.5 stalls. If I need to paint or have a bigger project, my best friend has a 40x50 I can "borrow", but I've got a welder, torch, drill press, 20 ton press, chop saw, vise, jacks, benches, and all necessary tools to do whatever I need at home mostly, so I feel pretty blessed. Long way from doing engine swaps in my parents back yard on the lawn haha (my Mom is a saint and put up with my Dad and 3 boys all building hot rods for years ruining her grass).....

    What it looks like right now.

    But I'll be firing up the '64 in a week or two and then get everything out and clean up my mess.

    It's a lot of shuffling of stuffs to get things done. :)

    Yea I know,...I have a real problem and need help ha 40x100 and I still have to crawl over stuff sometimes

    I do all the bodywork in the family business shop across the driveway.

    I truly appreciate guys having to work out of small shops my heart goes out to you, I've built several out of my parents 22x32 and it's tight.

    Post more, Fritz.

    And you need to always remember, no matter how hard life is, you touch a lot of invisible people.

    Keep on keeping on in the New Year!

    And I'll keep you in prayers.

    It’s a mess right now. The GN will be replaced with a GS soon. I have an...interesting... roommate that claimed the middle bay when we moved in. He’s moving out in March and my other roommates ‘69 Nova will take it’s place. I don’t want to upload any photos of our storage garage in Scranton. A tornado of parts went through that place...
